While not new to smartphones, this would be <b>a first for the iPhone<\/b>. Variable aperture allows the camera to <b>control how much light enters the sensor<\/b>, improving exposure in different lighting conditions while also offering <b>more control over depth of field<\/b> for natural background blur or keeping everything in focus.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"-ultra-large-main-camera-sensor\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">\u201cUltra-Large\u201d Main Camera Sensor<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Apple is also expected to increase the size of its main camera sensor from 1\/1.28-inch to around <b>1\/1.12-inch.<\/b> Comparable to Sony\u2019s LYT-901 sensor used in devices like the Vivo X300 Ultra, a larger sensor can capture more light, resulting in <b>better low-light performance<\/b>, <b>improved dynamic range<\/b>, and<b> faster shutter speeds<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"improved-optical-image-stabilisation-ois-for-ultra-wide-lens\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Improved Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) for Ultra-Wide Lens<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Enhancements to OIS on the ultra-wide camera are also in the pipeline. This would allow for sharper photos and smoother videos by <b>reducing handshake,<\/b> particularly in low-light conditions. It also makes the ultra-wide lens far more dependable for everyday shooting, including night photography and handheld video.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"200mp-periscope-telephoto-lens\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">200MP Periscope Telephoto Lens<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Apple is said to be exploring a 200MP periscope telephoto camera, an upgrade currently seen in only a handful of flagship Android devices, such as the OPPO Find X9 Pro. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Such a system would enable <b>a higher level of optical zoom and digital zoom<\/b>, ultimately delivering sharper long-range shots and thereby addressing one of the key areas where the iPhone has faced increasing competition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Beyond the variable aperture, which many consider to be a strong possibility for this year\u2019s iPhones, <b>the timeline for the remaining three upgrades is unclear<\/b>. It won\u2019t be a surprise at all if Apple chooses to introduce the remaining three over multiple cycles. However, given the state of the competition, it\u2019s likely that Apple might choose a more aggressive roadmap and roll these upgrades out sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: Digital Chat Station via MacRumors<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/mobile\/smartphones\/apple-exploring-four-camera-upgrades-for-iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple is reportedly planning four major camera upgrades for future iPhones, signalling a broader push to improve its photography capabilities to catch up with the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":46850,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[156,2751,1043,363,4037],"class_list":["post-46849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-apple","tag-bring","tag-camera","tag-iphone","tag-upgrades","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46849"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46849\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/46850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
